Creator’s Notes (optional): Apparently when told to use an art form I'm not familiar with or specific colors, my default fic idea is "Fire". Supplies used for art are blue, red, and yellow shades of oil pastels.
Summary: The fire and smoke make it impossible to see, and he fights during the Dagor Bragollach with arrows shot into the flames to try and guard those fleeing behind him.


The hills are burning.

It’s too late to escape into them now, though the tops of them – the coldest parts, inhospitable to most
living beings, but especially inhospitable to dragons – might not burn.

He fires his bow blindly through the smoke and flames, hoping to hit one of the enemy. Any of them. Just one of them might be the difference between one elf escaping and one dying.

A dragon appears through the flames as he steadies another arrow to fire.

He pulls back his arm.

The dragon opens his mouth.

His arrow hits the dragon’s throat.

The fire burns.

I really love both the drabble -- now, this is really well done, because it sets the scene perfectly, portrays the personality of your OC, and is vivid and detailed, all in 100 words! -- and the primary colours in the art -- I like that the dragon's eye and the flames are both red, and the mountains are blue with the red flames creeping up them.

Very well done!

Thank you! :D I'm glad the personality of my OC comes through - and I tried to bring the red of the flames into the dragon, because they go together, much more than the mountains and the dragon do, so I'm glad that works. :D
